My guess on the line up

[luckysalt]

For Reading Friday, Saturday, Sunday main stage. Put top six in, might not be in right order or whatever, but I think theres a good chance of these acts playing

The Strokes

Klaxons

Pendulum

The Enemy

Babyshambles

The Subways

My Chemical Romance

Them Crooked Vultures

Biffy Clyro

MGMT

Dizzee Rascal

The Wombats

Blink 182

Lost Prophets

Paramore

The Cribs

We Are Scientists

30 Seconds To Mars

This is the first year where I've had no idea. My guesses for Headliners are MCR, KISS and an 'indie' headliner of some sort. I think Blink will play as main support to MCR so we get months of whining.

[rexclark]

I'd go see that. As with most line up guesses there are a good few I could see happening but I hope they wouldn't have MCR and Blink headline different days but I couldn't see how else you could accomadate both.

Would be even weaker than this year's line-up. At least this year Radiohead, The Prodigy and Placebo were all on the Main Stage adding a sliver of meat, along with Ian Brown but he was billed in the wrong slot...

Would be nice having The Strokes headline though, quality band but I reckon they're likelier to second headline.

For the record, this is my prediction (Leeds-wise):

[luckysalt]

Seems extremely strong, I do kinda like it though but Slipknot won't be around next year, its Stone Sour touring, And Kasabian are headlining V.

[Dave]

If The Strokes play they would headline.

I think it will be The Strokes, Kasabian and Blink 182 headlining. The Maccabees defo will headline one night of NME.

[Kyelo]

Not neccersarily, they didn't headline T last time they played and as they are headlining Isle of White and Rockness I wouldn't have thought they would headline Reading and Leeds as they like at the least English exclusives. Second place would be more likely imo.

[thomasowen]

All depends on how big the headliners are really.

[frankie boy]

Whats the obsession with Kasabian I think they are Ok but nothing bigger than nme headliner mayybe 3rd on mainstage I just think they are extremley over rated pish.

But then arctic monkeys headlined pyramid at glasto after their first year being in the big time didnt they?

[thetime]

how much you like them is irrelevant though.

In the uk, theyve sold not many less albums than the Arctic Monkeys, not to mention theyve just released probably there best selling album and single in recent months.

[thomasowen]

is that a factual comment about kasabian selling similar amount of records as arctic monkeys? thought it would be a huge difference with am first and second album selling huge amounts.

[scottt]

The difference is AM had a huge selling debut, a second album that sold a bit less and a third album that sold less still, with Kasabian the opossite is true, their albums have got progressivly more succesful and I would predict that West Pauper and Humbug have sold simular numbers. Overall AM have sold a lot more records than Kasabian, and they're getting number ones in other countries as well (unlike Kasabian).

[thomasowen]

West pauper will sell alot more than Humbug imo. AM have obviously sold more, but the gap is closing.

[rexclark]

At Leeds in 05 Kasabian got a massive crowd on the second stage compared to The Pixies on the main Stage and they've got alot bigger since then.

[luckysalt]

At Reading, I watched an hour of the Pixies main stage set I believe, and then went to second stage to watch Kasabian and Im sure they either hadn't started or they were just starting when I got there, I think that had a lot to do with it, I remember the tent getting packed shortly after, and im sure Kasabian were still playing for about 45 minutes after The Pixies had finished their set

[stephen07]

tells you more about the reading/leeds festival customer than anything else, similar to v when radiohead headlined and razorlight got a bigger crowd than radiohead.

[thetime]

Sorry to tell you this, but razorlight played the same night as morrisey not radiohead.

Kasabian was on the radiohead day, i know as i watched radiohead and razorlight.

[VCK]

Kasabian are a good band but I wouldn't dream of seeing them over Pixies.
